Question#1. Why do robins migrate leaving the warm regions to go north?
Question#2. If some robins overwinter in northern lattitudes and stay there
year-round is the robin considered a true migratory bird?
Question#3. Does the frost level in the ground play a more significant role in
robins migrating than the 36 degree isotherm theory and air temperature?
